As promised, here it is. My very own, very short but info-filled review of the new iPAD, Apple's new device that will take over the world.
The iPad is what is known as a tablet - kind of a laptop-smartphone cross. Imagine a big iPod Touch, fitted with a laptop screen. Thats the way I've been describing it! Its screen is 9.7 inches wide, and can manage a whopping 10 hours battery life. Thats incredible for this kind of device, for those of you who don't know.
It can access the internet, you can type documents, play games, listen to music, read books - you can do everything you want on this thing. It is just like the iPod was 6 or 7 years ago - just before it took the world by storm.
This device, however, has the best bit of recent software I can remember. iBooks looks stunning, I haven't been in awe of this kind of thing in a very long time. As much as I like the idea of picking up a book and reading, if anything will kill off the good old fashioned paperback, iBooks will be it. Thats it in the picture. It is just like a big bookshelf, on yours screen. You flick the pages as you're reading, you can fold them down as a bookmark. You cans tore hundreds of books on this kind of device, and the screen just makes it look stunning - especially if you fill your bookshelf. Just a brilliant thing.
The iPad is a whole new field of imagination. Everyone knew it was coming, but no-one knew it would be this good. Just a class piece of hardware that will take over the world. 8m of them to be sold next year ALONE - brilliant. And I will be one of them.
iPAD, you are the Day Dedicatee for Frdaiy 29th January 2010.
